Chapter 69 I'm Still Angry
Ruan Xingmian walked quickly in front, racking his brains to think whether he could trick the camera out of Gu Xing's hand.
Water it.
Then burn it with fire.
In short, let it disappear from this world.
His fingers were grabbed, and Gu Xing skillfully spread them out, then domineeringly squeezed between her fingers, crossing his ten fingers and holding them tightly.
Ruan Xingmian tilted his head and his gaze froze.
When did this guy unbutton his shirt?
I saw the top two buttons of his black shirt quietly undone, and his sunken collarbone was faintly visible under the street light.
The Adam's apple moves and makes people irritated.
Ruan Xingmian withdrew his burning gaze and swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner.
I leaned in quietly in my heart.
Shake your head and remind yourself not to be fooled by beauty.
"You have to give me the camera." She thought she was being very tough and raised her chin defiantly like her elder sister.
"Well," Gu Xing rubbed her fingers, "I'll give you a backup copy."
Ruan Xingmian lowered his chin, his face flushed. "What do I need it for? I want you to destroy it."
This was a devastating disaster for her.
She's going to be famous in the future.
Not to mention he's half famous now.
Gu Xing's mouth was harder than his head: "Mianmian, I'm afraid I can't promise you."
"There's no safer place than here," he said.
Ruan Xingmian suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and said, "You are the biggest danger."
She couldn't argue with Gu Xing, and she couldn't bear to have that little video in her boyfriend's hands.
I could only sulk and not speak the whole way.
When Gu Xing asked her what she wanted to eat, she just shook her head lazily.
After returning home, Ruan Xingmian let go of her hand and rushed into the bathroom immediately, washed up, and then went into the house.
She just wanted to lie down and rest her mind for a while.
She had just laid down when Gu Xing, who had changed into pajamas, knocked on the door and came in, moving a chair to sit beside her bed.
“Mianmian…”
Ruan Xingmian turned over and turned his back to him angrily.
Gu Xing called out again: "Tell me, what are you worried about?"
Ruan Xingmian finally turned around and poked his head out from under the covers: "I ask you questions and you answer them. Don't lie to me."
Gu Xing nodded: "Okay."
Ruan Xingmian took a deep breath and confirmed that the room router had been unplugged by Gu Xing: "You knew about the camera in your previous life, so you took it away when you woke up, right?"
"Um."
"Have you ever opened it and looked at it?"
Gu Xing was silent for a moment.
Ruan Xingmian pushed his arm: "Hesitation is deception, silence is admission."
“I have.”
Ruan Xingmian gritted his teeth: "When did you start watching it?"
Gu Xing recalled for two seconds: "On September 1st, the day you showed up with the pregnancy test stick, I suspected Ruan Daya had changed people when I left the hotel. When you showed up that day, I was even more certain, so I opened the camera feed for the first time and checked it over and over again."
What a repeated confirmation.
Ruan Xingmian clutched the quilt tightly, "Then you haven't..."
Gu Xing answered quickly: "Yes."
His frankness made Ruan Xingmian seem stingy.
"How could you do this!" Ruan Xingmian hid under the quilt and burst into tears.
She was playing innocently with Gu Xing, and Gu Xing was watching her short videos behind her back.
The next second, a considerable weight pressed down on her, and her upper body suddenly flew into the air. Gu Xing held her and the quilt in his arms.
The voice was full of temptation: "Mianmian, have you ever thought that I am more afraid of the video being exposed than you are."
He asks her not to be afraid, he will hide the video well.
Ruan Xingmian leaned her head out and rested it on his chest, tears welling up in her eyes. "But Gu Xing, people's hearts are fickle. What if one day you don't love me anymore? That thing in your hand can easily destroy all my efforts."
Gu Xing lowered his eyes and whispered a word: "People's hearts are fickle, but I have lived two lifetimes before I set my heart on you. Do you think I can still leave you?"
Mianmian, you have greatly underestimated your importance to me.
Ruan Xingmian admitted that Gu Xing was very good at saying sweet words, and with just a few words, he could calm her anxious heart.
"Mianmian, I want to go to bed."
Ruan Xingmian was feeling very moved when he suddenly heard this whisper.
"You're pushing your luck."
Gu Xing hugged her tightly: "Is it okay?"
Ruan Xingmian said stubbornly: "No."
She reluctantly accepted that the video was with him, but she still had to go through the angry process.
"I'm still angry because you didn't coax me."
Gu Xing's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook the person in his arms, "Then how do I coax her?"
Ruan Xingmian didn’t know. She closed her eyes and leaned in Gu Xing’s arms. She was going to sleep.
In a daze, the quilt on my body was suddenly lifted up, and my whole body fell into a warm and hot place.
Gu Xing entered her bed without permission.
Ruan Xingmian opened one eye, took a look, and then closed it again. The ending tone of his angry voice was warm.
"What are you doing?"
He pressed his big hand on her head, and poked her neck with the tip of his nose.
Gu Xing's voice floated in his mind: "Hold her and coax her to sleep."
Ruan Xingmian slept peacefully.
The routine on Tuesday and Monday was similar. She slept until 7:30, ate the breakfast brought by Gu Xing, and started her morning stroll.
In the past, the two of them would discuss their itineraries to see if they could have lunch together.
Ruan Xingmian is looking for someone to open up an office today, so he has to wait in the park.
Gu Xing went to the kitchen to get a lunch box: "I'll get lunch from the cafeteria and bring it to you at noon."
Ruan Xingmian still remembered the short video, "I'm still mad at you. Shouldn't I eat the meal you sent me?"
His cold, thin lips suddenly twitched. Gu Xing was just trying to hold back a laugh: "Being angry is okay, but eating is okay. Only after eating can you have the energy to be angry."
Ruan Xingmian thought so too. She couldn't treat herself and the baby badly. "Then I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs, Northeast China's three fresh delicacies, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes from your cafeteria."
Three dishes are in three places, go there, Gu Shen.
Gu Shen said it was no problem, "Okay, I'll bring it to you. Where's the drink?"
Ruan Xingmian was collecting cups: "Drink warm water. I've been eating a lot lately, so I have to control my beverage intake for fear of causing gestational diabetes."
Gu Xing agreed. Today he wore a gray cotton sweatshirt with a dark windbreaker on the outside. He stood at the door, just like yesterday, waiting for a hug before going out.
He opened his hands and raised his eyebrows at Ruan Xingmian: "Mianmian, I have to go to class."
Ruan Xingmian turned around and said, "I'm still angry."
Gu Xing just stared at her.
He looked so serious, as if he would get angry if he wasn't hugged.
Ruan Xingmian hated his own cowardice.
Walked over reluctantly.
Being pulled into his arms, hugged tightly, and kissed lightly.
Gu Xing raised his index finger and tapped her forehead: "I'm not around, please be careful."
"Wait a minute, Gu will wake up." Ruan Xingmian grabbed his arm, his expression changing dramatically as he smiled with dimples. "Can I use your computer?"
How could Gu Xing not know her little thoughts, and nodded when he heard her words.
Opened the door and went out.
Ruan Xingmian excitedly went straight to the computer. She didn't have to look for it hard, because there was a folder named "Mianmian" on the desktop.
Ruan Xingmian wanted to lean back again. He wouldn't put the short video in a place where it could be copied and pasted so easily, would he?
She gritted her teeth and opened it. There were several sub-folders below, including "Mianmian's Circle of Friends", "Mianmian's Fantasy Sound", and "Mianmian's Photos".
Ruan Xingmian clicked on "Mianmian Photos", which only had more than a hundred photos of her, from the photo Wenzhu took of her and Bougainvillea and posted on WeChat Moments, to the photo of her sleeping soundly with her eyes closed in his arms last night.
Each one is named and numbered.
Clicking on "Mianmian's Moments", Ruan Xingmian couldn't help laughing. This guy took screenshots of every one of her Moments, even the comments and likes.
Ruan Xingmian's first reaction was to cover her Weibo account tightly, which was full of one-click reposts of handsome men's photos.
She searched for nearly an hour, her eyes were blurry, but she still couldn't find the video.
The time for the appointment with the cleaning lady had arrived. Ruan Xingmian turned off the computer, picked up his bag and went to the park. On the way, he suddenly thought of something.
The master's wife lives near the park.
She planned to arrange for cleaning, buy some fruit, and visit the teacher's wife before lunch.
She sent a message to Gu Xing asking if it would be suitable for him to come over on Tuesday.
Gu Xing asked her to call first and ask: "Master's wife has been traveling around the country since her retirement and may not be at home."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xingmian first sent a message to his master's wife, and then received a call from Ji Ling.
"Mianmian, I'm sorry, I didn't get it done."
Ruan Xingmian's first reaction: "It's normal, Sister Ji Ling. This is just a small workshop. You don't have to blame yourself."
She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you interested in?"
Ji Ling's frustration could be heard over the phone line: "I thought he and I were friends, but I didn't expect it was just wishful thinking. I'll come to you at noon and tell you in detail."
Ruan Xingmian agreed. She asked the cleaning staff to clean up the office first so that everyone would have a place to sit.
I received a reply from my teacher’s wife at noon. She is in another city and will not be returning to City A in the near future.
Ruan Xingmian felt a little regretful, and she was thinking about giving some local specialties from home to her master's wife.
Gu Xing and Ji Ling came together.
Gu Xing put down his lunch box and was about to go back.
Ruan Xingmian didn't keep him and talked to Ji Ling while eating.
"The person I want to help you find is Xu Zeqing."
Ruan Xingmian bit his chopsticks and said, "Then he definitely won't come. He's the chief assistant in your aunt's company, with an annual salary of 200,000 to 300,000."
Ji Ling's eyebrows drooped. "But he resigned last week, without a formal resignation. My aunt thought he was thinking about starting a family and moving to a new city. She offered to arrange a job in that city, but he refused."
Ji Ling thought he wanted to start a business, so after seeing Ruan Xingyue off yesterday, she excitedly drove to meet him. Before she opened her mouth, Xu Zeqing asked her with a smile if she wanted to have a midnight snack.
Ji Ling had a barbecue and soda and made a job offer.
Xu Zeqing refused without hesitation: "I'm currently facing the most confusing period in my life and want to free myself. Thank you for remembering me, Miss."
Ji Ling has become immune to this name. When it comes from Xu Zeqing's mouth, there is no sarcasm or teasing, but instead there is a feeling of doting.
She asked him what he was confused about, but he just smiled and said, "You are still young. When you reach my age, you will understand."
Ji Ling was rebellious: "You are only 28, but you speak like an 88-year-old, full of masculinity. It really hurts my ears."
She left in a rage without settling the bill, and received a bill from Xu Zeqing asking for AA on the way. She was so angry that she almost drove away late at night.
She looked at Ruan Xingmian, a trace of fear and uneasiness flashing in her eyes: "Mianmian, I think I'm doomed."
